Dr. April Boin Choi, received a B.A. in Biological Sciences from Cornell University and a Ph.D. in Education from Harvard University. In her doctoral work, April sought to examine early behavioral and environmental factors that predict language in infants at elevated likelihood of autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Specifically, her work focused on the developmental trajectories of gesture and fine motor skills, as well as the role of parent input in children’s language learning. April continued her work as a postdoctoral fellow at Boston Children’s Hospital and Seoul National University Hospital, working on numerous research projects related to neurodevelopmental disorders. As a research professor in KU CCPL, April looks forward to extending her training in ASD assessments and research methodologies (EEG/ERP) and developing evidence-based interventions for autistic individuals and their families across a lifespan.
